One of the great no-nonsense white bluesmen..... probably more influential than famous but I was a huge fan from an early age.

He died of a heart attack earlier today aged 74. RIP JJ.

Mmmmm it seems the reports maybe a stupid hoax, I suppose we'll know for sure soon enough.

update - probably not the last...
Yes. This is the message form management confirms death: "Unfortunately, it is true. JJ Cale has passed away - last night at about 8 pm Pacific time at Scripps Hospital in La Jolla, CA after having a heart attack

maybe the report of a hoax is a hoax.... sadly

That says it all really. Hugely influential and turns up on unexpected recordings. Great loss.
